Such a wonderful numberth (222nd) of post should be dedicated to something so wonderful. it is worth while to be recorded in this blog.
Thanks to a few days of showers that washed away all the smoke and dust particles that have haunted us for the past few weeks. It feels really great to see the azure blue sky coming back to sight and it is just so soothening and therapeutic. The dark green cranes at the Pasir Panjang Wharves (Container port) is finally back in clear sight. And the long "disappeared" horizon of factories (believed to be Jurong Island. Didn't really bother to find out what it really is. Haha..). The temperature was kept rather cool, at below 30°C. To readers of temperate countries, yes unfortunately, people who lives in the tropicals do not have the luxury of experiencing any temperature below 25°C (except for this very rare occasion at the end of 2005 when there was a week of non-stop rain after Christmas, causing room temperature to drop to 23°C at one time.) or above 35°C (except for this very rare occasion slightly more than 9 years ago when the temperature in Petaling Jaya was at one point 38°C thanks to the Haze.
Ah too bad I dont have a camera at the moment to capture the wonderful scenic combinations of the Mother Nature and human civilization.
Anyway, the site meter is really good. It tracked the readers of the blog all the way to the US, Germany, Australia and India. Hmm I know who is in the US and Australia who would possibly read my blog, but I wonder who reads my blog from India. And having readers from Germany is not that surprising anymore since my link was pasted in the Wise Guys Fansite Forum (still wonder how that person found my blog. haha... maybe cos i posted one of their videos and they happen to google it.) but this link has been continuously from the same source. Hmmmm........ and this person always linked to my site from Dingying's.... This means this person knows both of us and well there's only two persons that i know, who are currently at that place.
Have been rather out of touch with Cantonese Pop for years since I came to this Island Republic to study. Hmm maybe don't really know about the latest developments, e.g. who are the new singers and their songs. But there have been quite a few outstanding ones. One of them was introduced to me when my friends sang his song in Redbox. I realized his songs are very well written and he certainly has the potential to rival Jay Chou. More of a HK counterpart of his I guess, and he writes a variety of genre of songs tho. I always admire those who writes his own songs and can deliver the feel perfectly.
Embedded is one of his songs, called 好人. It is sung by Justin Lo (侧田) --> Read it in Cantonese, it is a more-or-less translation of his English name. The lyrics was written by none other than the King of Lyricists --> 林夕. He really can write lyrics of almost any theme. Somehow the way the song is delivered tend to lead me into the feeling of the meaning. Muahaha.... maybe it expressed exactly what is my current state of mind, subconsciously.
I like this song too! ^_@
